World Cup: Enugu Gov. redeems N5m pledge to Super Eagles source:https://www.infonewsnigeria.com/discussion/1553/world-cup-enugu-gov-redeems-n5m-pledge-to-super-eagles#latest The Enugu State Governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, has fulfilled his N5 million pledge to the Super Eagles for their performance at the Russia 2018 World Cup. Ugwuanyi, had in May made the pledge during a fundraising ceremony at a gala night for the Super Eagles. He fulfilled his promise on Tuesday when he presented a cheque for the sum to the team through the Commissioner for Youth and Sports, Joseph Udedi. Ugwuanyi congratulated the Eagles for their performance and wished them luck as they returned to their respective clubs. In a similar development, the Enugu State Government also procured a world-class ultra modern physiotherapy facility, fitness and training equipment for Rangers FC to enhance their performance and care for injured players.

tbaba1234: Quick question, did we have any scandal before that 2009? If I am correct Fortune has been the only unfortunate guy, so does that mean that Chrisantus and co were 17 in 2007 because there was no scandal then? 1 Like |

Mickael2: Before 2007, we knew some of the players were not under 17 and we could demonstrably prove that especially for those who had played in the league for long enough. People in the media knew. For Instance, in the current under 20 team, we know several players that are way past 20. Graduates of Nigerian Institutions. This kind of verifiable evidence is not available for the last few under 17 teams (2013 and 2015). In fact, in most cases, we can prove that they are the right age or close to it (max 2/3 years older). That is what MRI has helped us do. Cheating has been drastically reduced. 3 Likes 1 Share |

krattoss: That is the mentality I love. Fight, fight and more fighting. How many times do we see this guy in his own box making a defensive stop then boom he is in the oppositions box creating havoc. He might not do all those hot dog tricks but he is more than effective. He is the one player I would have no issue telling a little boy to try be like. He is a purists joy. |

a couple yes philip osondu after the 1987 set. another player whose name i can't readily recall from the 2007 set it was Ade Ojiekere the sport journalist who wrote an exclusive on the guy blowing the whole lid on the matter. MRI has definitely helped to reduce age cheating. is it 100% perfect? no even the proponents of the test have never claimed such but at least now we have a fair idea who the true youngsters are. anecdotal evidence of the likes of iheanacho, awoniyi, ndidi, uzoho, osimhen further strengthens my belief in the test. like others have said until you post scientific evidence of 20 and above year olds passing the test then all you have is speculation, hearsay and personal opinion Mickael2: 2 Likes |

tbaba1234: The MRI scan in 2009 was mandatory because of FIFA's random check. Every member of the team was checked twice by the Nff to make sure they didn't fall victim of FIFA's random selection. Guys like Edafe Egbedi, Stanley Okoro, Terry Envo and even Omeruo were chronologically older than 17. You call it a private test, but that same private test disqualified so many other players and the same private test have been used by the Nff ever since till date. Was it not a private test that disqualified the players Uzoho replaced in 2013? Why would you believe the Nff gamed the system by adding players who failed Mri with the risk of getting disqualified if they were accidentally picked up by FIFA's routine assessment team in a tournament Nigeria was hosting? It sounds ridiculous. |

tbaba1234: This a very simple thing. Nobody has said the MRI is 99.9% accurate. But a system that has about 90% degree of certainty by any standard is very reliable. Tagging all our players age cheats because of that 10% chance of failure is so so unanalitical, unfounded and biased. Until proven otherwise the MRI is still the best means of checking age cheating. 2 Likes |

remember nigeria was hosting so it makes sense ''stuffs'' were done to help us. as long as the full screening was done by us and not FIFA anything goes. for all you know maybe the stories of players being screened out and dropped could have been a kite flown by the nff to give the impression we were serious about curbing age cheating. alot of funny things weren't on before we hosted that competition. host cities being dropped then reselected out of the blues. goldfish80: 1 Like |

tbaba1234: I personally would have wanted him to stay at Roma because I feel he is ready physically. But I can accept the move because Steven Gerrard has been blowing sweet nothings into our ears about the boy and why not learn from a guy who even Luis Suarez gives credit for his development? I also feel the potential goals will be great for his confidence. I believe that the players you named coupled with a few others should be integrated with the team as early as possible. But the fact remains that they will miss sitters and go on droughts at times so if this is our standard we may have to keep waiting on our messiah. |

chrisooblog: Subsequent U17s after 2009 were also tested by the Nff, maybe FIFA tests the players before the tournament but you have to scale the Nff's private test before FIFA ran theirs. I say this with certainty however, I stand to be corrected. For the uptheent time and as a matter of fact, FIFA used MRI in 2009. Burkina Faso was also affected as some of their players failed the test in 2009. FIFA claims the MRI is full proof but that haven't proved to be accurate by my findings.

we are both still saying the same thing FIFA random tests could have been ''adjusted'' to ensure the random picked ones were the sure bankers who would pass the test. the 2009 test was still fraught with mystery, uncertainty and doubt. as for the 2013-2015 sets there were 3 levels of testing NFF, CAF then FIFA no test is ever full proof but the MRI scan judging from the results in the iheanacho and osimhen sets is definitely a major improvement. look at this example you run a border post you randomly screen passengers for contraband you don't need to be a genius that many will scale through the system but get a body and luggage screening machine you will definitely see a drastic change goldfish80: 1 Like |

ChrisKels: Ebere is the one that you know. He actually played Firstly in league two with Wycombe Wanderers and then got his chance in QPR. A good player he is but this his first taste of the championship. How many MOTM awards has he won ![]() If our NFF scouts were not so lazy they would find players not on the radar of the English FA. Show love and get them linked in to the SE. I believe thay cam do it if they want and stop the favouritism approach thatis linked to players agents. That's how we allowed Ejaria, Chuks, Ademola to fall through the hands of the NFF. Now Ademola and Ejaria are becoming hot property. |

goldfish80: Ogunjobi lied because Fortune Chukwudi can not in any way possible pass an MRI scan. Fortune Chukwudi's case was one the reasons I believe FIFA made it mandatory and monitored by them. To explain further, I was in D-line in Port Harcourt at that time. Fortune Chukwudi and a neighbor of mine were in the Amiesemaka's feeder team of Sharks. There is no way possible Fortune would ever pass, even once. I am more interested in when it became strict and mandatory. With time, we are seeing a major reduction in general cheating in the U17 team of Nigeria. 2 Likes |
